[SEED] Fighting for custody — just got served

Identity verified

I was served with a divorce petition on February 13, 2026 that includes a request for full custody of my two daughters (ages 5 and 8). My response deadline is February 23, 2026. I do not have an attorney. I coach their soccer team and take them to school every morning. I need an attorney immediately — I cannot lose my kids without being heard.

Attorney retained!

Thanks to your generous support, I was able to retain an attorney today. She reviewed the petition and says we have a strong case for 50/50 custody.
